Next grocery trip, buy one extra loaf of bread to freeze, one extra lb of butter, a couple lbs of beans, pasta, & rice. Start finding food banks & donations. Buy extra flour & sugar—even if you don’t use them (& can use them). Potatoes of any kind keep a while. And all this: 👇

Tor is putting our entire mercenary librarians series on sale next month so I mean if someone I trusted wanted to ask me about becoming a 3d printing book nerd community organizer and how it feels to be tagged every time a plot point in the books come true... GREAT TIME LOL 😭😭😭

I love stories of citizens scientists and people with passions. They truly are an engine for change.

This. The dream of the 90s is dead. Cheap rent enables every kind of creative work and nothing else can substitute for it.

Spring has sprung and Easter is just around the corner, so it’s time for my yearly reminder: if you own cats, DO NOT bring lilies ANYWHERE into your house. Even just breathing in the pollen or drinking the water from a vase can be fatal to kitties.

There was a single woman with a large banner NoKings sign protesting at 24St and Thomas in Phoenix at 3:30pm yesterday.

I think a reasonable thing you should do with loved ones, friends and people you are dating is talk about how everyone will adjust to higher gas, grocery and travel prices. My mom and I recently agreed I should not buy a used car and just use public transit more.

They want to police our genitalia and run tests on our bodies to “prove” we are women, at which point they will still deny it. This is why the only feminism is trans-inclusive and why transphobia and anti-trans discrimination should be a top political priority.

I am sponsoring a racecar in Vermont, driven by a young woman from my town. The entire hood and back bumper have been reserved for whatever pro-library message I'll put on there. $600 total. 🏎️ I crowdsource this fun project every year. Chip in? Venmo: @iamthebestartist or DM me for other options.

Everyone who laughs at how the GOP allowed Trump to rise and take power, given his awfulness was there in plain sight: Are you sure the left is free of such dangers?

I made a papercraft just for this

ESA=the educational voucher money Arizona hands out without oversight. Enjoy the fraud I and other taxpayers pay for!

Fun AND learning with a dash of unintended policy consequences

DAMN RIGHT! Please PLEASE go watch this delightful and romantic and hilarious show (Netflix in the US)!

The early responses to Wolf Worm are hatching! Highlights include “What is wrong with you?!?” “WHY?!” and “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, KINGFISHER!”

Please enjoy sweet little million-year-old PSA I just redid for extra goodness, if you've got 59 seconds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om6S...

CHOTINER: I'm just trying to understand why there are claw marks in the duvet. CAT: The bed tried to knock me off. I had to hold on. CHOTINER: It tried to knock you off. CAT: Yes. CHOTINER: Was it supporting you before you rolled to attack the human's hoodie strings? CAT: I see where this is going

This is part of why THE SECRET AGENT has stuck with me since seeing it. We don’t know the exact timeframe or what the protagonist has endured since the initial event and enemy he made, but we know from the initial scene at the gas station no one official really gives a shit anymore.

Okay! Probably won’t get this done in one go, but here is a thread of all that’s been happening at Plot Twist Cafe since the Kickstarter was funded in August and we opened in December.

Flashing back in Red Bank, NJ in 1990 and just walking around, visiting stores, looking in windows, visiting the news store and buying a bagel as a snack…

A fundamental message that I've landed on in my "News Media in the Misinformation Age" talks that I give at public libraries is that, in the US right now, it's much more profitable to be in the lies/misinformation/spin/propaganda/BS/demagoguery business than it is to be in the truth business.

The takeaway for me from Afroman’s glorious trial and testimony is mockery is the ultimate weapon against which fascism has no response but to make itself more worthy of mocking

This week on @thewesternedge.bsky.social, we're publishing a beautiful, crushing essay by former ACLU Legal Observer James Mapes about aging in Portland, observing protests and smoking cigarettes. www.thewesternedge.media/p/a-life-of-...

It's hard to think about retiring from racing, because mushing is, and will always be, a huge part of my life. So I took a journey with my older dogs, who have retired themselves. They've taught me so much over the years; now, they're teaching me to live with change. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/m...

128th anniversary today of this rather important story appearing in the Lawrence Daily Journal, Kansas

Authors, please talk about your books. We needs breaks from the suck or we won't make it.

Ooh, @davekarpf.bsky.social's rundown on why WIRED is a must-read is so good. (I need to buy this man a coffee & whip out my Wired Scenarios issue so we can dish about it together.) davekarpf.beehiiv.com/p/on-the-wir...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

I've been getting quite a few questions from press, etc. and so wrote up something a little bit longer here: cooperativeoverlapping.substack.com/p/a-fuller-s...

I'd like to speak with trans adults (18+) whose access to transition care has changed due to state and/or federal policy changes. DM, email [email protected] or Signal joyurcaba.91

Every police "use of force" policy is in place for a very good reason. But cop shows present them as obstacles that get in the way of justice being done. In real life Detective Stabler is Derek Chauvin, and DA Jack McCoy is the DA that let Kalief Browder be abused in jail for 3 years while innocent

I’m still processing images from Sunday morning… look at the size of this giant Saguaro, and nest! 🪶 🌵

I just found a 2024 charge for $1,348.03 to French Laundry - the 3 Michelin star restaurant in California - in Arizona ESA reimbursements.

For ppl who aren't aware: Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut. They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures. You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

So this whole heated rivalry thing has really gotten to Oscar and Jake. This whole thing was their idea. I did not agree to including my dirty kitchen floor. #poetry #podcast #cats

Here's the main page so you can do some searching yourself, it's highly recommended as a time suck. Seeing Depression-era folks looking at Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1* in 1933 is truly brain-wrinkling * I like standing on ceremony, sue me www.moma.org/calendar/exh...
